Headed west on Cunningham Road he either failed to notice he was coming to a dead-end intersection or had a brake failure. Hurtling across the highway and into the field the load of lumber crushed the cab of the truck, kill ing Strickland instantly. More than a half hour was required to re move his body from the truck cab. $2.3 Million Price Tag For Kinston Sewer Works Tuesday night Kinston’s ruling elders heard a price-estimate for the-sewage disposal plaint that the city has been ordered to install by the State Stream Sanitation Com mittee: $2,321,290, not including land costs. ..... The, city’s coaeuftant—engiBeer tendered the report and answered Questions on the proposal which recommended the' conventional type plant rather than the recently publicized “lagoon type” system. Studies were made on the cost of each system and their practica blity. The “lagoon type” had a price fag of $2,446,780, not includ ing land costs. A large part of the cost of this latter system came from long collector lines to the three proposed sites. Http ..yttei were pfcaposedfor location of the conventional treatment plants. Engineer C. W. Mengel told the <board that as he understood the present laiw the plant has to be in operation on or before January 1, 1965. In order for this deadline HOT AND DEADLY—This is the nuclear reactor building in which three men lost their' lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho. An explosion in the silo-like structure killed three servicemen and set off deadly radioactivity.^ DEAD IN ATOMIC REACTOR BLAST—Three servicemen perished in an explosion of a new-type nuclear reactor at Idaho Falls, Idaho.

B. Summons in a preliminary hearing last Saturday found no probable cause of guilt in charges of brea'king, entering and larceny against Jewel Hall of Trenton route 2. Other indictments reported in the past week by Jones County Sheriff Brown Yates included Ben Moses Smith of Trenton route 1 and Johnnie A. Thompson of Mays ville, who were both charged with drunken driving. W. H. Hawkins of Trenton route 2 was also booked on charges of public drunkenness. Maysville PTA Hears District Health Officer The January PTA meeting was held last Monday. Mrs. Robert Buck presided over the meeting which was opened with a medita tion given by Mrs. W. E. Hender son. Guest stpeayer was Dr. J. D. Workman of the Jones-Lenoir County Health Department. He spoke on the facilities and pro visions of the Jones County de partment and the work it is ac complishing. During the business portion the ways and means committee an nounced that they were sponsoring a “Dime a Dip” supper to be held Tuesday evening January 17 at the community building. Room count was won by the first grade. The hospitality committee serv ed doughnuts and coffee, furnished by the grade mothers of the fourth grade. to be met planning must begin not lator than mid-1963 and work must begin not later than earliest-1964. Mengel said the stream sanita tion committee could be asked to review its determination of the need for such a system in the Kin ston area, and he said the decisions of the committee were also sub ject to review in the courts. The Kinston aldermen seemed unanimous in the view that the city should postpone committments as long as possible while seeking relief from the present law in the General Assembly. Members of the board expressed the view that research now under way may turn up better and more economical systems and that the present session of congress may materially liberalize federal grants for such work. Mengel said on finis $2.3 million project the city could, at present, expect the maximum federal grant of $250,000 plus considerable help from Casiwell Training School, Frosty Morn Packing Company, the Pepsi-Cbla bottling works and the Coca-Cola bottling works, whose sewage would be collected into the system if they so desired, and there were indications that all did wish to co-operate in this pro ject when and if it is built. Mengel said four men would be required to operate the plant he recommends. The lagoon site rec ommendations are near the Simon Jackson airport, near the junction of NC 58 and Southwest Creek, just east of Tower Hill Road in the vicinity of the Rachel Tull farm and another site just back of the Dickenson farm. The alternate sites recommended for the conventional system—which is the plant l^engel says is best for Kinston'—are just across Neuse River and just east of the South ern Railways line, and at the same site as the fcugoon site back of the Rachel TuR farm. December sales in the four stores of the Jores County Alco holic Beverage Control Board set a one-month record for the system and showed' a 48.6 per cent in crease over sales in December of 1958. Supervisor Ray Harrison reports a gross December business in the four stores of $42,692.30, compared to a gross of $28,788.95 in the three stores that were in operation in December of 1959. Sales by stores with this year’s total listed first and 1959 sales in parentheses were as follows: Store No. 1 at Trenton $8,192.05 ($8,906.20). Store No. 2 at Hargett Cross roads $14,587.35 ($11,384.05). Store No. 3 at Wyse Forks $8, 390.95 ($8,496.79). Store No. 4 on US 17 $11,521.95. This store was not opened until June 1960. On the basis of the past operat ing experience of the Jones Coun ty ABc system not less than an 11 per cent profit on this gross is ex pected, which amounts to $4,696.15, or the equivalent of just under 5 cents on the county’s ten million dollar tax listed valuation. In other words on the taxlisted valuation of Jones County it would be necessary to levy a tax of al most five cents to raise this one month’s profits by the ABC system. I Telephone Company Begins Rural Project I Telephone Company construction forces haive begun work on a pro ject which provides placing cable facilities along Highway- 58, and on a road adjacent to Highway 58 West of Trenton, North Carolina, to serve some eight applicants.
